A Lstter Of Lonrfenor,s.

A hitherto unpublished letter of Long
fellows has just been made known. 1t
was written TO the mistress of a girls
school in Chicago, and ran as follows:
ITO those who ask how l can write so
many things that sound as if l We're as
happy as a boy, please say that there is
in the neighborhood, or neighbortown, a
pear tree planted by Governor Endicott,
200 years ago, andy that this tree still
bears fruit which it is impossible to dis
tinguish from the young tree in flavor. 1
suppose that the tree makes new wood
every year, so that some part of it is
always young. Perhaps this is the way
with some men when they grow old. l
hope it is 50 with me-" And then he
adds: II am glad to hear that your boys
and girls continue to take so great an in
terest in poetry. That is a very good
sign, for poetry may be said to be the
flower and perfume of thought, and a
perpetual delight, clothing all the more
commonplace of life with golden ex-
halations of the dawn Queries.

CREOLE HOME LIFE.

Their Horror of PublIcity-An IIIustra-
ton of Prejudice-A New Era.
The creole woman's work was always
done at home. The old %creoles, who
"never forgive a public mention, " shrank
with horror from publicity for their wo-
men. The example of free and easy
going young L'Americaine was held NJ.
as one TO be summed. Gradually, almost
imperceptibly, the new current sweeping
through woman's kingdom found en-
rance through the barriers thrown up by
creole pride and prejudice. So wide has
this current now grown and SO r~esistless
that to-day creole women are found in
every avenue of public employment. Five
years ago the creole girl who stood behind
a counter was a heroine, Drawing family
and social scorn, but making the step
easier for those of her sisters who had
longed to work but had laked the courage
to act according to their convictions.
Perhaps no more striking illustration
of the prejudice of the creole could be
given thar the following authentic one
of an old gentleman of New Orleans,
dead only a few years. OF gentle blood
and college bred, he chung to his faubourg
with fierce tenacity. The French quar-
ter was good; why should he live else
where? and his scorn of the new town
being built by the impertinent, intrusive,
all ~conquering American was intense. At
that time-somewhere in the thirties-
the creoles did not attempt to conceal
their dislike for the Americans, who were
changing the business methods and ID
setting the traditions of the city. Nor
were the Americans slow to express their
contempt for the creoles. This choleric
creole, as he sat with his boon companion
in Cafe des EXils, and read in L'Abeille of
the daily revolutionary acts of the new
corners, was deeply angered. Though
impotent to prevent, he could at least
show his disapproval of the upstairs. He
vowed he would never cross Canal street
(the th~oroughfare separating the old town
from the new, and he never did, but
was gathered to his fathers triumphant
in having vindicated faith by works. 1
knew a dear old lady who likewise had
never crossed the line. No rancor
lurked in her sweet soul; simply lack of
curiosity held her aloof; her entire fam
lily lived in the French quarter, and there
all her interests were concentrated.
Remains of this curious antagonism
are now rare. The kindly spirit of the
new era has broken down most of the
old barriers, and each race is willing to
accord merit to the other, and approxi-
mate more closely with every succeeding
year. -Harper's Bazaar.

One source of sudden deaths is accidents,
but many events pass under the head of
accidents which might have been foreseen
and guarded against. Americans, particu-
larly, are apt to take great risks; for ex-
ample, in their eating, their clothing, their
building, in crossing railway tracks. and
in many other ways. No staging need
ever fall, and it would net If proper care
were taken In the choice of material and
in construction. Think OF the friShtful
list of deaths resulting from the use of oil
poured upon a lighted fire to cause it to
hndle more quicklyl
With many other causes Of sudden
death, our own personal ills seem at first
sight to have almost nothing to do. There
may be a fatal break in the physical ma
chinery at a point where weakness has not
been suspected. The heart, perhaps, be-
comes unnaturally enlarged, or its tough,
muscular fiber turns to fat, and suddenly
there is a mortal rupture. Or the en-
feebled heart fails to send blood to the
brain, and the man drops dead In the
street, or at his business. or, more fortu-
nately perhaps, in the midi of his family.
In other cases there may be a degenera-
ton of the cerebral artery, and high
living, or a glass of vine, or an excite
ment of passion, may arouse the heart to
send the blood to the brain with a force
too great for the weakened arterlal walls
to Withstand. These walls give way at
one or more points, the outpoursd blood
presses against the nerve centers, and
thus is cut off the necessary supply of
nerve force to vital organs. The man
falls unconscious, and within a few days
dies.
We have not space to speak of other
causes somewhat similar, but in most of
them the weakness of the link at which
thA nhniD hiram ka iG DIM 70 pH-ar ayart;nn
to too continuous brain work, to excuses
in eating and drinking, to passion, to
worry. The weak spot being ascertained,
the fatal result may be prevented for
years, perhaps indefinitely by a carefully
regulated life. Youths Companion.

The BicyeIIst's Physique.

There are a couple of bicycle clubs
quartered near the lower end of Central
park. Indeed, there may be more for all
| know. At the houses l have in mind
there is always a gathering of wheelmen
full of tales about their special sport.
You can pick out a bicycler-a ''biker, -"
the irreverent call him-by his legs. The
''biker" runs to legs and knee joints.
His body doesn't count for much, so that
above the waist he usually presents what
has got to be known as the cigarette
physique, and which consists in more
bones than meat or muscle. But his
calves and thighs are as tough as the
rubber tires of his machine, and when he
gets them in knickerbockers and long
stockings he would not change with a
king on his throne. A friend of mine, WHO
can do anything With a bicycle except
ride it up a perpendicular ladder, has
eschewed the ordinary bags of dude
dom altogether, and Travelled about in
professional guise at all times. He has
ever invented an evening suit, with vel
vet knee breeches and silk stockings, to
wea on state OCCASIONS and the girls
vote him too original and picturesque for
anything .-Alfred Trumble in New York
News.

at does not follow that because an
artists name is signed to a cartoon that
he has originated the idea" remarked a
well known caricaturist. "a happy
thought is liable to come to any one, as
is shown by the fact that a cobbler won
the prize offered by Punch for the best
advice to those who were about to mar
ry. The suggestion for many a cele-
brated cartoon has been handed in by
persons who have never beer heard of
by the public. These suggestions are
submitted mostly by men who pick up a
living at all kinds Of Bohemian work.
The price paid is 50 for black and white
picture, and So or $40 for a colored car
toon, according L whether it is used as
a single or double page picture. Many
suggestions are paid for hat are never
used, either because the subjects turn
out nine day wonders, or because the
artist is unable to treat them in a salts
factory manner, while it sometimes hap
pens that what was bought for a black
and white picture is found to contain the
making of a striking cartoon.
1t is extremely difficult to grasp an
other persons idea for a picture, and the
artistic editor is much more liable TO err
rOTs of judgment than his literary broth
or. Scarcely one-quarter of the sugges-
tons submitted are found available; not
so much that they lack merit, but be-
cause they can't be drawn. The most

Zine rIbsrs of class.

BY Sho method adopted by Mr.. @. v.
Boys, the British physicist, glass rods are
quickly drawn into very fine fbers by
straw arrows shot from a cross bow. One
end of the rod is attached to the arrow
and the other is held in the fingers, the
required temperature being given the CEN
ter of the rod before the bow is released.
Glass is thus extended into ibers less than
one-ten thousandth of an inch in diameter,
and quartz into threads below one hundred
thousandth of an inch in thickness
which is less than one-third as thick as
the SPIDERS web, and only one-twentieth
al thick as the silk worms fiber. The
process is also quite successful with aug
lite, feldspar and other minerals, garnet
yielding threads of most beautiful colors
when treated at q low temperature. AT
the reading of his recent most interesting
paper concerning these fine fibers, Mr..
Boys exhibited to the London Physical
society an annealed glass spiral capable
of quite accurately weighing the millionth

Protection Against Yellow Fever.

The problem of protection against yell
low fever by incubation seems in a fair
way to solution by the Brazilian doctor,
Freire, who has been seven years at work
on the subject. According to a recent
account, the number of persons already
inoculated is 6,524. There have died
from yellow fever in Rio de Janeiro, be-
tween jan, 1885, and Sept, 1886, 1878
persons, of whom eight had been inocu-
lated lin 1884, the method being then i'm
perfect. This gives a mortality of about
l per 1000 for the ~inoculated, and l per
cent. for the uninoculated. It is remark
able that there has been no epidemic of
yellow fever in Rio de Janeiro this year
I'd thing not known for the last thirty
five years.. The microbe of yellow fever
is called 'Cryptococcus xanthogenicus."
DIR. Freire gets q culture liquid for inocu-
lation, on the principles of NJ. Pasteur's
methods, and he injects about one gram
of it subcutaneously.-Fra Leslie's.

Behind these cities stretch away the
mysterious, endless fields of Holland; who
can describe them, or rightly appreciate
them? The opulence Of tone and color;
the unity and mystery of the vast
meadows, pierced in every direction with
canals, dotted with villages, cities and
isolated houses; the ever present wind
mill; and, above all, the magnificent
cloud arrangement. Here you have a
wide eXpanse of pure, deep green, broken
by lines of azure bitches and canals; be-
yond, a cluster of velvety red houses, the
apex of the irregular mass a gray church
tower, thanked by windmills; and behind
and beyond, the tender distance pulsating
with rich color, or a narrow, lonely road,
bordered by slender silver lines of water,
winding through the green meadows; at
a near turn stands a windmill, its thatch,
toned by sun and rain to a warm brown
ochre, broken by cold, greenish ines of
woodwork, and stretching into the vast
sky its giant arms, perhaps carrying sails
of ivory or russell canvas, a part of the
wide horizon, blurred by the movement
of waving gray willows masking a lonely
house. The interiors of the villages are
simply symphonies in color. The ancient
bricks of the houses are a real red, or
pale yellow; the woodwork-door frames,
etc. is usually a Whitley green, harmon
izing perfectly with the trees and fields,
while the reds give the complimentary
contrast. George Hitchcock in Serb

1t is the habit, both in this country and
in England, to consider the compulsory
military service that prevails in Germany
as a necessary but unmitigated evil. Such
an opinion seems to me to show a very
inadequate appreciation of what military
service does for the men who undergo it.
] nave little hesitation in saying that uni
versal military training is one of the most
desirable regulations that can be imagined.
A very slight acquaintance with the Ger
man peasant before his three years with
the colors and afterwards will prove to
an unprejudiced mind that the man has
improved wonderfully. From the dull,
clumsy clodhopper has been brought
forth an active, skillful and alert man,
with the knowledge how best to use his
physical powers, with habits of punctu-
atty and order of which he formerly had
not the smallest inkling, and with a sense
Of responsibility and self respect far be-
yond the range of vision of the country
pumpkin. He is a better man physically,
mentally and morally than he ever was
before, and the time spent in the army,
instead of being wasted, did more for his
character han any other part of his edu-
cation. Germany pays a heavy price for
her army, but even should a war never
again break out, it would be a sad day
for that land when military service
should be abandoned. Ernst Kuestner in
Globe Democrat.

1t should go without saying that
Charles Sumner was never guilty of pro-
family. Yet he was tolerant of those of
his associates who, like Senator Wade,
when righteously indignant, would drop
with great vigor into the vernacular of
his early days. Once when the senator
from Ohio had made the air sulphurous
and lurid with his picturesque profanity
over a peculiarly exasperating and disas-
trous performance in negrophobia of one
of our generals, a milk and water sort of
person who sneered, in his absence, at
old Ben's language, was checked by
Summers stare, and by his saying:
Gould you have given a better ex-
preston of u opinion?'
but the oaths, " was the reply.
''Still, if it had TO be DONE" said the
senator, "you will admit that it was well
done"
But the oaths," reiterated the diet
tante.
"Ah," said Sumner, 'they are of the
kind that my uncle Toby said the re-
cording angel will blot out with a ear
And hen he added rehectively: but in
old Ben's case it will be rather hard on
the lachrymal glands"
In p~hilosophizing on the matter, the
senator admitted that in all countries
and in all ages mankind seemed to feel
the need of explosives. The classics
were full of instances. But he drew the
line at "the DEVIL" as did another, who
intensified his exclamation by multiple
cation, a ten devils, fifty devils" or
under peculiar stress, "a million devils"
The senator abhorred swearing in the abb
stract as neither brave, polite nor WISE"
